"We don't really see eye to eye," Jennings said this week. "But I don't think any player and doc are on the same page when it comes to an injury any time you have to sit out."

The Packers would like to have Jennings back for the stretch run and -- if they get there -- the postseason. In his absence, wideouts Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones have operated in unison during the team's four-game winning streak. That hasn't tempered Jennings, who's itching to put a helmet back on.
